The Browns draft picks aren't the only players involved in Cleveland's rookie minicamp this weekend.

In addition to the Joe Haden's and Colt McCoy's, Browns head coach Eric Mangini enjoys mining for the so-called "diamonds in the rough" among the team's group of undrafted free agents also participating.

The Browns were awarded defensive back DeAngelo Smith off waivers from the Detroit Lions. To make room for him on the roster, they waived defensive back Matterral Richardson.

Smith, 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, is a product of the University of Cincinnati and Independence High School in Columbus. A fifth-round draft choice of Dallas in 2009, Smith spent Sept. 6-16 with the Browns last season. He was picked up by Detroit on Nov. 18.

After signing a three-year, $20 million contract extension, Browns' Pro Bowl receiver/returner Joshua Cribbs is showing off his new 2010 BMW X6 on SafeAuto Insurance Company's new blog, ''Celebrity Rides.''

Cribbs is in the process of customizing the car, with a sticker price of $65,000. He's installing LCD screens in the red leather front seats and plans to buy black rims. For a peek at Cribbs' new wheels, go to:

Profootballtalk.com lists the Browns rookie free agent signees, headllined by 6-foot-8, 320-pound offensive lineman Joel Reinders of the University of Waterloo in Windsor, Ontario. According to PFT, Reinders has only played football for two years.

Reportedly the other signees are defensive end Auston English of Oklahoma, tackle Casey Bender of San Diego State, linebacker Jon Dempsey of Louisville, cornerback Chris Chancellor of Clemson, tight end Troy Wagner of Indiana and defensive end Willie Walker from California University of Pennsylvania.

The New England Patriots drafted Twinsburg native Zoltan Mesko in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL Draft with the 150th selection.

Mesko, a 6-foot-4 and 240 pound left-footed punter from the University of Michigan, led the Big 10 in 2009 with 52 punts for an average of 44.5 yards, a long of 66 yards and 15 inside the opponents 20-yard line.

ESPN’s live telecast of the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft Thursday night – conducted for the first time in prime time – was the most-viewed first round in the network’s 31-year televising the event.

With four picks in Friday's second and third rounds of the NFL draft and some first-round talent still available, the Browns could be busy on the phones before draft action commences at 6 p.m.

With the sixth pick in the second round (38th overall), they could still get their quarterback of the future in Texas' Colt McCoy. But if they are worried about him going before then, they could use one of their third-round picks (Nos. 71, 85 or 92 overall; eighth, 22nd and 29th in the round) to move up slightly.

Joe Haden, the Browns No. 1 pick and seventh overall in the 2010 NFL draft, became the 11th player drafted by the Browns from the University of Florida and the first Gator taken since linebacker Andra Davis was picked as a fifth rounder in 2002...The junior CB joins LB Clifford Charlton (1988) and DL Gerard Warren (2001) as the other Florida players selected by the Browns in the first round.

While Browns coach Eric Mangini's role has diminished with the arrival of president Mike Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert, Thursday's selection of Florida cornerback Joe Haden followed in the blueprint Mangini used when he coached the New York Jets.

In Mangini's first draft, he took Ohio State center Nick Mangold in the first round. He followed that formula to grab Cal center Alex Mack last year with the Browns.

With safety Eric Berry off the board after Kansas City took the junior from Tennessee with the fifth pick and Seattle snapping up offensive tackle Russell Okung with the sixth, the Browns took Florida defensive back Joe Haden with the seventh pick in the 2010 NFL Draft Thursday night.

The Cleveland Browns worked the phones up until the final moments before Thursday's draft, as ESPN reported that the Browns called the St. Louis Rams 15 minutes before the the draft began to inquire once again about moving up from seventh to grab the No. 1 pick.

With less than an hour before the NFL draft begins, I think back to the NFL combine and my thoughts after the mass media interview with Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford.

I walked away telling fellow Browns reporters, ''I'd give up all the picks to get him.'' Apparently the Browns feel the same way because, according to ESPN, they have made one final call to the St. Louis Rams about trading for the No. 1 pick.

The Browns are one of seven teams the Pittsburgh Steelers have called regarding a trade for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported via Twitter.

According to Schefter's Twitter, the list also includes the Rams, 49ers, Raiders, Bills, Jaguars and Seahawks. Schefter said the Steelers are seeking a top 10 draft pick for the quarterback, suspended by the NFL for six games Wednesday for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

If he had a choice on which team will draft him, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy would pick the Browns, McCoy said Monday in a radio interview with 790 The Zone in Atlanta.

''Once I get done with these trips, I have really enjoyed and I absolutely enjoyed Coach Holmgren,'' McCoy said of Browns president Mike Holmgren. ''He is a class act and I could definitely see myself playing in their organization. I think that it would be a tremendous opportunity and they have a lot of good things going for them and Coach (Eric) Mangini and their staff has been awesome.

Browns president Mike Holmgren said he has spoken to nose tackle Shaun Rogers after his April 1 arrest at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport with a loaded gun in his carry-on bag.

Rogers spent the night in jail and pleaded not guilty to one charge of carrying a concealed weapon, a fourth-degree felony. Rogers told reporters outside the Justice Center that he forgot the gun was in the bag, which he'd been using for driving trips back and forth to Detroit.

While moving out of the No. 7 overall pick is a possibility, Browns president Mike Holmgren didn't want lead on fans who think the team might trade into the No. 1 spot to nab Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford.

The Browns hold 10 picks and Holmgren warned fans not to expect a similar move to what then-Saints coach Mike Ditka did in 1999, trading all their picks in 1999 and a first-rounder in 2000 to Washington to draft Texas running back Ricky Williams.

A fourth-round pick of Cincinnati in 2005 out of Central Michigan, Ghiaciuc played in 48 games and started 42 during his four seasons with the Bengals. That included at least 12 starts in his last three seasons and 16 in 2008.

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said during a conference call Wednesday that the Browns should consider Oklahoma State junior receiver Dez Bryant with the seventh overall pick in the April 22-24 draft.

Bryant played in only three games last season, suspended for lying to NCAA investigators about his relationship with Deion Sanders, who was reportedly courting him for an agent. At his NFL workout, Bryant ran only 4.55 seconds in the 40-yard dash and said he forgot his cleats.

The Browns announced the completion of Friday's trade with the Philadelphia Eagles after cornerback Sheldon Brown and linebacker Chris Gocong passed their physicals.

The deal sent linebacker Alex Hall to Philadelphia, along with fourth- and fifth-round choices in the 2010 draft. The picks surrendered were the 105th and 137th overall, leaving the Browns with 10, including five of the first 92 selections.

A Friday trade with the Philadelphia Eagles may have brought the Browns' two starters and perhaps cleared the way for them to draft Tennessee safety Berry, if he's available when they select seventh overall.

Browns nose tackle Shaun Rogers was charged Friday with one count of carrying a concealed weapon after being arrested Thursday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport after a loaded 45-caliber handgun was discovered in his carry-on luggage.

The Cleveland city prosecutor elected to knock down the the charge to a fourth-degree felony, which carries a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison. Rogers had been held on a third-degree felony, according to Cleveland police.

Browns nose tackle Shaun Rogers was arrested at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport Thursday afternoon when he attempted to board a plane with a loaded handgun.

According to a press release from the Cleveland Division of Police, Rogers was arrested at 12:15 p.m. While at a security checkpoint at Concourse C, a loaded 45-caliber handgun was discovered in his carry-on luggage. The statement said he was placed under arrest ''without incident.''
